That's correct. In fact, at the moment I'm just trying to get a more
generic management implementation of the container stats in the style of
the JSR77 stats ... but I'm not really looking for the JSR77 servlet
stats right now. You mentioned in another note that you were hoping to
create a new jetty image soon.
I think our needs to complete what we are already receiving in part from
Jetty would be met if you could provide these container statistics:
- getConnectionsOpenMin
- getConnectionsRequestsMin
- getConnectionsRequestsCurrent
- getConnectionsDurationMin
- getConnectionsDurationCount
- getConnectionsDurationTotal
- getRequestsActiveMin
- getRequestsDurationMin
- getRequestsDurationCount
- getRequestsDurationTotal
Hopefully, we will be able to get similar stats from Tomcat.
There is one other matter regarding how stats are enabled/disabled. I
don't see in the JSR77 spec where this type of processing is available.
It looks like stats are always presumed to be active. However, since
the jetty stats can be enabled and disabled at any time I've been
thinking of extending the JSR77-like container stats to also include the
notion of enabling and disabling the collect of statistics in the
WebContainerStats interface. Are there thoughts from those that are
better versed in JSR77 about the ability to enable/disable the
collection of stats?
